They weren't as bad as the result implies, but still a lot of question marks for them:
- Their best finisher in the 442 diamond is constantly wrong footed (Rodrygo). Vinicius basically needs to turn into a 30 goals/season type of player.
- With the young midfielders there's noone to structure play (like Kroos).
- Defence looks shambles. Pretty much the same issues we have at fullback, but at least we have Balde.
Transfer window isn't over, so maybe they get more goals into the team (Mbappe, Kane..), but then their midfield looks incredibly over-crowded. Survival of the fittest is hardly an issue for Madrid though.
